Mitigate Logging Costs While Maintaining Full Observability with Logz.io

Considering the scale of log data that modern cloud environments generate, it’s oftentimes prohibitively expensive to index all of it. For monitoring and logging, cost management is just as important as in other parts of the business. Whether sudden spikes of log data overwhelm databases or good business generates more activity in your environment, teams should anticipate and mitigate the steep costs that result from high log volumes.

GrafanaCONline: Fillet your herrings using Grafana

Datask, founded in 2019, has been using Grafana to monitor real time production results for one of the largest fishery companies in the Netherlands. This company has developed its own automatic Fillet machine, which is unique for the fishery industry. These machines will be exported to several countries in the world. We are using industrial IOT technology to monitor these machines and present performance figures to various stakeholders.

Cassandra Monitoring: 6 Best Practices to Pay Attention To

Apache Cassandra is an open-source, distributed database management system specifically built for organizations needing to handle large volumes of data, including when said data is spread across many commodity servers. Cassandra development began at Facebook but later became an open-source Apache project. Now, it’s widely used by some of the biggest enterprises, like Uber, Spotify, eBay, and smaller developer teams.

How to implement Prometheus long-term storage using Elasticsearch

Prometheus plays a significant role in the observability area. An increasing number of applications use Prometheus exporters to expose performance and monitoring data, which is later scraped by a Prometheus server. However, when it comes to storage, Prometheus faces some limitations in its scalability and durability since its local storage is limited by single nodes.

Five Ways AIOps Can Improve IT Incident Management

Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) is an emerging technology that can help IT operations teams make sense of operational data. As hybrid infrastructure and cloud-native technologies present new levels of complexity, AIOps is showing great promise in simplifying and transforming digital operations management. In our recent Tech Talk, Five Ways AIOps Can Transform Your Enterprise, OpsRamp’s Eric Cook spoke about the need for AIOps in today’s multi-cloud environments.

Lockdown Bugfixes & Midnight Coding

It's been a strange few months here in Edinburgh. Thankfully Downtime Monkey has been largely unaffected by the lockdown, quietly continuing to monitor websites while the world shuts down. Coding from home has been challenging with kids off school and nurseries closed.
